Description

Sometimes trying start the service fails (it seems to stop automatically) until the logfile is deleted. The file seems to be corrupt, but I could not determine what's wrong yet.

"Interestingly", notepad.exe displays the logfile as usual, while other tools (e.g. Wordpad, Notepad++) report an error or show an empty file. Eclipse text editor reports "error retrieving content description".

The last entry in the logfile shown by notepad.exe is "[info] Commons Daemon procrun (1.0.10.0 32-bit) started".

The bug is not present in version 1.0.9.
